Cookie Monster Monday

My church has a competition between small groups each fall called Cookie Monster Monday. All the small groups at Frontline Arlington are invited to participate. The objective is to bake the best cookie. Each small group who participates must bake 100 cookies for tasting and judging by all the participants of Frontline Arlington.

Tonight for the first time ever, the Walters are entering Cookie Monster Monday.

We spent Sunday prepping for the big event. We even busted out the Kitchen Aid mixer for the first time. Craziness ensued when we added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients only to be doused in flower and powder fine oatmeal. Our Kitchen Aid is like super duper mixer of all stand mixers. It basically doesn’t have a “low” setting. There are 10 speeds settings and setting one broke the sound barrier. I am not sure what or even HOW we could ever use a fast speed. Needless to say it was a marriage building experience. All in all the hubs and I had a great time baking together and we think the end product is mighty tasty.

We will have to wait and see what our judges think tonight. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the final results! If we win I will post the recipe I used for the contest here at My Living Canvas. Stay tuned for more!
